White Lie - Poem by nadia abduljabbar

White Lie

“Does a Muslim Lie”, so was askedProphet Mohammad, Peace be upon him, Jesus, Moses and all the otherProphets, he was soAffirmative in his reply, Saying no a Muslim does not, Before that he was asked About other major sinsSuch as adultery and theft.

He replied that a MuslimMight commit such sins, And if he repents, he mightBe accepted according howHonestly he regrets..If Muslims meditate enoughTo understand the depthOf such a profound sayingThey would have never letLying prevail in society; There is nothing such asWhite, red or black lie, There is nothing as itWas just a compliment, Even compliments shouldBe from the heart.

The prophet’s tongueAnd heart are lightedBy his pure created natureAnd by the light of God, He does not throwMeaningless wordsWithout real knowingTheir depth or effect; Lies make people doubtEach other and the resultIs an insecure sick society.
